Ho fftt "barefoot boy," twelve yenri of u;j, an! 'hinly olad. lie had come to this couav ry about six months before with his moth ur, eipeetiiiif to meet in New York city i f father and a home. Afur a long and, eary search, the two fourjd only tho jrrar f the husband and father. 1 Le:r neaua vere spent; thrv haJ no friends; and tit lisappointed aud heart-broken mother was oou laid beside hor husband. Tlie yonirj irpbttti had been taught to fear God aod shun evil, and his dyirt;; parent had sarad him that tho Father of tin father wouid watch over him anil flare tvt u " 'heo she . lioulJ be no more, A Gem a i, with whom the widow's lttl h mrs wera spent, advised Friti to lcav the cirr, wlvr ho would ntcet only toaip r:vtioij i.ud want, and .'cek eniplormcni in the o l iii'ry.

While making h's way acrosB tH9 city, he was overtiikeu by one of the crew of o coasting ve'fsi wiiieh p.ied betTrcea New l'ork and Counectteut, and an aet of civil ty which the little boy rerlbruied in rua uiiig unasked for a hat which the autumn iud had lif.ed from the tailor's head, aU tracted his regard. A question or two brought out the history uud present purpose of the little German, and his newto- quaiiitancc at once advuted him to "steer .straight for a Yankee farmer,'' offering to give him a passage in the vessel, i'rit accepted tho proposal, went on board the coaster, and was landed ia Connecticut. When he left the vessel he took up hi march .for the ucamit inland town, tad oou reachiug V , called at very farmhouse iu search of work. .Not liuding employment, he went on to the cooler of the place, aud seeing a load of wood just dropped in lrout ot a house, ho walked bii.-kly to the door and begi:ed th job of cutting it. The farmer who had icbvercd tlie wood was just receiving hi pay from the grocer who had bought it, am! listened while the Ud urged his wish' es. liis rettuest was ret used, lint when .he boy adued with a quive.ing roieo, is inke.i English, that ha "must get soma thins; to do, for he was very hnuery," ho Was told that he Could go iuto tbo hottSO and have some dinner witnout doing any tniiig to tlie wood-pile, "o, sir, said Eritz muuiully, "l vau earn wy living, I no bett it." Koth the genlleiuau laughed at his spirit; and the grocer told him if Ins dinner wuUid taste any better he might; cut. some of the wood. 1 lie boys eye brightened, he throw off his coat, and went to Work. The youne tanner, Mr. Hallet, watched his looks and movements, aud lingered after the grocer; went to his store to see what the lad would do. Ho soon noticed that the tidy jacket which Fritx hud hung upou tho yard fence was blowu down ly the wind, and something seemed to have fallen from tho pocket. He picked the article up. Itwaa i tiuiill parcel, and he soou saw that it contained a German Toduiueut andjrinier apparently well worn with u?e. "Whu gve you thise." he n.kjd of tho yonn wood-chopper. lhe boy looked up iud denly, aud with jealous haste seized tho books and retorJ ,'hem to his pocket. I'hcr. he answered the qtiestieu. "My Hinder, sir, my tuoder; the is up dcre." Ilis lifted eyes, reverent end tearful, poin'cii the reply. Mr. Ililiet becanie greatly interested ia : lie Lttle German, and thouuh he wa9not in special need of help on hismall farm, yet be conetuded to take tho boy on trial, and keep him through the winter if ho should prove faithful. Po at ni'ht Fritx accoiii) auied bis new fnend to the most eouifoi'tiible homo, which the poor orphan had ever enjoyed. Tho mother of tho y..ung farmer kept his house, and eh too lei i a tender inteiejtin the lad. She soon improved his wardrobe, and took pains to reach him not ouly to speak English, but to renl it.

Ho fftt "barefoot boy," twelve yenri of u;j, an! 'hinly olad. lie had come to this couav ry about six months before with his moth ur, eipeetiiiif to meet in New York city i f father and a home. Afur a long and, eary search, the two fourjd only tho jrrar f the husband and father. 1 Le:r neaua vere spent; thrv haJ no friends; and tit lisappointed aud heart-broken mother was oou laid beside hor husband. Tlie yonirj irpbttti had been taught to fear God aod shun evil, and his dyirt;; parent had sarad him that tho Father of tin father wouid watch over him anil flare tvt u " 'heo she . lioulJ be no more, A Gem a i, with whom the widow's lttl h mrs wera spent, advised Friti to lcav the cirr, wlvr ho would ntcet only toaip r:vtioij i.ud want, and .'cek eniplormcni in the o l iii'ry. A!i the poj- motlier'i ef t'esta were .oid todofuy tlie ezpensai ot her siekr.c.- ui' 1 !fc;.t!i. sr. nothing remain ed ior the ivy lilt n t,h:!'t for himself. His oidy fit oi'e'jihci was ran da as tidy as j orient f .i i .r u.ui oy u:s ir.cndly ad viser; and wiuieuta siii!iiu; in his pocket, the orphan surted ou his s.uil fvr vfili aud breud. While making h's way acrosB tH9 city, he was overtiikeu by one of the crew of o coasting ve'fsi wiiieh p.ied betTrcea New l'ork and Counectteut, and an aet of civil ty which the little boy rerlbruied in rua uiiig unasked for a hat which the autumn iud had lif.ed from the tailor's head, aU tracted his regard. A question or two brought out the history uud present purpose of the little German, and his newto- quaiiitancc at once advuted him to "steer .straight for a Yankee farmer,'' offering to give him a passage in the vessel, i'rit accepted tho proposal, went on board the coaster, and was landed ia Connecticut. When he left the vessel he took up hi march .for the ucamit inland town, tad oou reachiug V , called at very farmhouse iu search of work. .Not liuding employment, he went on to the cooler of the place, aud seeing a load of wood just dropped in lrout ot a house, ho walked bii.-kly to the door and begi:ed th job of cutting it. The farmer who had icbvercd tlie wood was just receiving hi pay from the grocer who had bought it, am! listened while the Ud urged his wish' es. liis rettuest was ret used, lint when .he boy adued with a quive.ing roieo, is inke.i English, that ha "must get soma thins; to do, for he was very hnuery," ho Was told that he Could go iuto tbo hottSO and have some dinner witnout doing any tniiig to tlie wood-pile, "o, sir, said Eritz muuiully, "l vau earn wy living, I no bett it." Koth the genlleiuau laughed at his spirit; and the grocer told him if Ins dinner wuUid taste any better he might; cut. some of the wood. 1 lie boys eye brightened, he throw off his coat, and went to Work. The youne tanner, Mr. Hallet, watched his looks and movements, aud lingered after the grocer; went to his store to see what the lad would do. Ho soon noticed that the tidy jacket which Fritx hud hung upou tho yard fence was blowu down ly the wind, and something seemed to have fallen from tho pocket. He picked the article up. Itwaa i tiuiill parcel, and he soou saw that it contained a German Toduiueut andjrinier apparently well worn with u?e. "Whu gve you thise." he n.kjd of tho yonn wood-chopper. lhe boy looked up iud denly, aud with jealous haste seized tho books and retorJ ,'hem to his pocket. I'hcr. he answered the qtiestieu. "My Hinder, sir, my tuoder; the is up dcre." Ilis lifted eyes, reverent end tearful, poin'cii the reply. Mr. Ililiet becanie greatly interested ia : lie Lttle German, and thouuh he wa9not in special need of help on hismall farm, yet be conetuded to take tho boy on trial, and keep him through the winter if ho should prove faithful. Po at ni'ht Fritx accoiii) auied bis new fnend to the most eouifoi'tiible homo, which the poor orphan had ever enjoyed. Tho mother of tho y..ung farmer kept his house, and eh too lei i a tender inteiejtin the lad. She soon improved his wardrobe, and took pains to reach him not ouly to speak English, but to renl it. He proved 8- eager and quielf to lcaru, that when the nuternu work oi 'he farm was despatched, his protector! sent him to the village school.
